Similar to many organisations, the economic downturn has created new financial challenges for Wärtsilä UK. As a result, John Henshaw, Wärtsilä UK Services Controller, decided to work with ERA Group, the UK’s largest cost and purchase management consultancy, to undertake a strategic review to identify cost savings.
"To date, total annual savings of £328,000 have been identified, and the group has a much better understanding of where further costs can be reduced in future." [John Henshaw, Service Controller]
